Umm... Have it... been playing it all night now. I don't want a pox on my home.
Seriously, this game is amazing. I won't give any spoilers. Its implementation of 3rd edition rules is better than I expected (from the horror stories I've been reading online). Even with the new graphics engine and the new rules set, it still feels like a new Baldur's Gate game.
The tutorial is perfect. It's integrated into the beginning of the story and by the time I got through it, I was able to do anything I needed to do in the game. I've never had an easier time controlling a camera in a 3d game. Maybe the only complaint I have (and I can even call it a complaint, it's so minor) is that the camera doesn't pull out far enough. Even zoomed out all the way, you're only getting a view distance comparable to Planescape: Torment's.
I'm playing as a charismatic human rogue, and while I've had to do quite a bit of combat, I'm not feeling overwhelmed at all. I'm capable of doing good amounts of damage with my sneak attacks, and am able to get sneak attacks off pretty easily. My charisma isn't going to waste either. I've had quite a few opportunities to you my Persuasion skill (And actually took the skill focus feat in it... it gives a +3 bonus instead of +2).
Sorry, gotta get back to playing... who needs sleep?
